Causes of the 504 Gateway Timeout Error The 504 Gateway error is usually temporary, and different reasons may cause it. Most often than not, the problem is due to a client-end issue like Internet connection troubles. However, the hitch may be due to server-to-server network connectivity issues or a server being down.
A 504 Gateway Timeout error indicates that the web server is waiting too long to respond from another server and “timing out.” There can be many reasons for this timeout: the other server is not functioning properly, overloaded, or down.
For example, you want to increase request timeout to 300 seconds. Then you need to add proxy_read_timeout, proxy_connect_timeout, proxy_send_timeout directives to http or server block. Here the http block allows the changes in all server in NGINX.
Depending on the kind of gateway you have you should use something like:
proxy_read_timeout 600s; Check docs: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_read_timeout
